I particularly support it in view of the fact that the Biden administration is now working to update transportation and other infrastructure with an intent to mitigate Climate Change. We are in the midst of a crucial paradigm shift and the stronger the partnership working through that change, the better. Virginia needs a TCI-P Model Rule to make sure that overburdened and underserved communities in Virginia receive an appropriate share of investments from the program.	-

I think that Amazon is doing the right thing by creating more electric vehicles including tractor trailer electric vehicles in order to reduce the carbon footprint which is a result of using diesel fuel powered vehicles.	-

This is all well and good on paper--save the planet, etc. But in reality it's to line the pockets of certain people at the expense of the average citizens. It will cost the regular Virginians too much at the pump, when we're already struggling. You serve us! Think of the cost/benefit and don't join.	-

The model rule sets a crucial regional baseline for how states can achieve this. 441 constituents [listed in the attached document] have voiced their support for adding the following four policy recommendations to ensure that center equity is better centered in the final model rule for the implementation of TCI-P. 1. Uplift community decision-making power by ensuring equity advisory bodies are made up of disproportionately impacted communities, have expanded responsibilities, and receive capacity support. 2. Ensure direct and meaningful investments for disproportionately impacted communities at a percentage that is significantly greater than their share of the population. 3. Promote access to quality jobs and training by incorporating high road labor and workforce development standards. 4. Commit to localized air pollution reduction and expanded air quality monitoring in pollution burdened communities. The potential benefits of TCI-P are not guaranteed without detailed guardrails and targeted benefits. Please adopt these four policy recommendations to center equity in the final model rule to invest in the health, leadership, and economic opportunity of communities who need it the most.	#FuelChange TCI Model Rule Petition Delivery_5_2021_MM - Sheet1.pdf

It's idiotic to believe human activity has a significant impact on world climate. Climate changes due to other factors. As an example, the glaciers in the US disappeared LONG before human industrialization occurred.	-

Raising the gas prices and cutting fixing the roads by 20% is not solving the problem of climate control. There is a toxic battery in the electric vehicles that need to find a safe way to dispose of them. It is no win, win situation.	-

This is very important and necessary for a clean and equitable future!	-
